Work Together For Discipline

To the Editor:

I, like many other parents, am concerned about the violence problem at Allen High School. I don't think any student has the right to hit a teacher or another student. But I also feel that the students are not entirely to blame. Some of the responsibility has to go to the administration and teachers. The rules were always there but not enforced. This is not the fault of the students. And if you give someone an inch you know they are going to want a foot. The teachers are setting an example for the students but some of them are getting carried away. If they want the students to do right then they in turn should also do right.

I feel that if everyone can get together and cooperate, this problem can be taken care of in a matter of time. Hopefully it won't take too long. The teachers are doing a good job and I hope they continue to do so. Also the students, I feel, must give a little too. And remember: Parents, your help is also needed. Let's make Allen a school to be proud of again.
